Those words keep echoing in my head, words that Joe Biden uttered in the speech he gave this morning in Philadelphia. I feel it like I’ve never felt it before, and I also feel hopeful that we as a nation are finally emerging from our slumber and recognizing that only two options have ever existed: being pro-racist or anti-racist. I believe our country will choose the latter. We have to.
I hadn’t previously been super excited about Joe Biden, but that changed today. His speech brought tears to my eyes because it filled me with hope that we may again soon have someone with integrity leading our nation, someone who is there to serve the people and the principles of our Constitution instead of his insatiable and fragile ego. I have hope that we will flush the ultimate megalomaniac down the toilet of history when we vote this fall.
